Probably some z list celebrity totally bereft of any talent, but famous for being..........................famous? ( i'm guessing here)

As I'm sure most red blooded males would, but It doesn't alter the fact that she is probably a z list celebrity who will go the way of all the other winners of "reality" TV shows, straight down the toilet after a year ( if that)

She's better than your average singfest winner - but if she simply knocks out gruesome bombastic sub-Carey power ballads (as Cowell will no doubt insist) she won't be around for too long.


Will Young did good - he made some smart choices for songs and production of said songs and managed to shed the 'talent comp winner' image.

I'm not so sure. She's not quite my cup of tea but she has got talent and some heavyweight backing. The PR machine has started. She'll be big in 2008 and beyond.


But then again I could be wrong.

I am mildly obsessed by her current number one.

Not normally my cup of tea at all cant stand Carey, Houston etc.... but I am fascinated by the slightly dark and almost meaningless lyrics. So meaningless that they sometimes seem quite philosophical.


Either that or I am getting old and the company of small children has made my brain start to dissolve.


and she does give good warble.

Girls Aloud = Pretty, funny, humble, talented and just nice


Are you sure? How about living proof that if you throw enough real(if dubiously employed) talent - songwriters, producers, musicians, choreographers, stylists, PR etc. - at a bunch of decent looking girls who are willing to pole dance with their clothes on, that's enough to bring success in the pop business?

This is what the 'pop business' is - and always has been. I like pop. I enjoy it for what it is and don't confuse it with real, chinstrokey music (which I like as well).

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
